This weekends 1975 show will be supersized on WTOJ. It will be one of the last supersized shows for awhile. I just don't have the time to do these right now so I'm going to have to step away from them. There is one last trick up my sleeve before the July 4th holiday. There is an upcoming show which you've heard before, but not the way you're going to hear it on WTOJ. That's going to be the last weekend on June. Stand by for details. Perhaps, one of you sleuths might be able to deduce that might be in store. Ken 6/29/1974, but done with the actual BB chart?

But that seems more likely for the 4th than end of Jun.

For at least the second time during the chart run of "Get Down, Get Down", Casey's writers overlooked Joe Simon's OTHER #11 hit, fall 1972's "Power Of Love". Only "Drowning In the Sea Of Love" from late '71/early '72 was mentioned as being his previous highest-charting record.

I'll go with 6/29/74 for next weekend. 6/29/74 last aired in 2019 as a B show. For the B show, 6/30/79, which also last aired in 2019.

Btw, I can relate to Ken's situation having to stop the supersized shows. A few years ago, I started creating my own supersized versions of 1976-78 shows. It is very time consuming and I ended up doing only about 10% of the shows. So instead of a having a semi decent production though not anywhere near as well done as Ken's...I have no way to lift Casey's voice from the shows as he does, I have to resort to stopping the track of an edited song and taking a moment to go to YouTube to find a longer version. Still works for me otherwise the hair on the back of my neck will be rising after hearing a couple edited songs.

Casey liked Olivia's chance of hitting #1 after "Please Mr. Please" rose 19 notches. But 19 was an unlucky number for ONJ in 1975. Her next release "Something Better to Do" debuted at 19 and also failed to hit #1, not even reaching the top 10. She needed to shift to a more upbeat sound to hit #1 again as fellow Australian residents the Bee Gees had just done. A lot of mentions about the 5 year anniversary of AT40. The artist whose first and and last top 40 hits both came within that time period and was the closest to the first show and this one that closes the first 5 years is Grand Funk. "Bad Time" is spending it and Grand Funk's last ever week on AT40 with a countdown hit and their first "Closer to Home" came a couple months after the inception of AT40. Not many people I am guessing thought this was it for them. 'Bad Time" is a great song and in a splitting hairs situation for me as their best.

Maybe Ken should do a 6/29/1974 AT40 chart with the correct 6/29/1974 top 40 from the actual published Billboard chart and use the Casey bits. Then even use "La Grange" as an OPTIONAL EXTRA.

Even though they flopped, I still liked "Can You Do It" and "Take Me" later on....

I also agree about Bad Time, they played on the radio back in my youth because after I'd heard that song when first listening to AT40 repeats in 2011, that's what then gave me a new appreciation for it!

Liked "Bad Time" a lot but my favorites were the back-to-back Top 40 entries that peaked at #29: "Footstompin' Music" and "Rock 'N Roll Soul".

"Bad Time" is one of my favorites in this week's 1975 show; really catchy tune. Wish it had hit #1.

My favorite Grand Funk song is still "Some Kind of Wonderful." That funky drums-and-bass groove....
